Abstract

The paper is a contribution to the theory of institutional change. Using a process-based, evolutionary framework, a comparative analysis of economic and political entrepreneurship is provided, and implications are derived for the role of political entrepreneurship and the element of agency in general, for the evolution of formal institutions and institutional innovation.
